The Problem with Sports
Today I watched Virginia Tech play #1 North Carolina in the ACC tournament in college basketball. VT lost 79-76 after missing a 3-pointer to send the game into overtime. This was the Hokies last chance to make the NCAA tournament and will now probably play in the NIT. This is one of the most disapointing things about sports, for both players and fans. When your team gets so close but then falls just short, well, you probably know the feeling. Even for me, not the world's biggest basketball fan, It really hurts.
But then again, what about the times when your team is the one that pulls out the win? In the Virginia Tech-Georgia Tech football game last season, the Hokies held on and won 20-17. When the Falcons played Tampa Bay for the final timee last season, it was 10-7 Atlanta when the Falcons' punt was blocked and TB had the ball inside the 20. Then John Abraham sacked them and the Bucaneers had to settle with tying it. The Bucs moved the ball up the field, John Abraham had another big sack, then the Falcons drove down the field, scored a field goal, and won the game.
Anything can happen. Sports are like life. They both have ups and downs, good seasons and bad seasons. My older sister recently didn't get the job she was really wanting to get and remains unemployed. But in the end, everything always works out. Whether the next year your team has huge season and wins the national championship, or if you don't get the job you want but then later get one you like even more, no matter what, everything always works out. I personally believe that is God making good out of everything. God is a touchy subject, but I believe in him and I am a Catholic who will never turn away from God. So you could say that I'm the biggest capitalist, the biggest economist, the biggest Virginia Tech fan, the biggest Republican, and the biggest Catholic at Northwestern.
Even for those of you who do not follow news, pay attention to the economy, want to go to Virginia Tech, have Republicans views, believe in God, or watch sports, sports can teach a lesson. And that lesson is: life is not perfect. You will have good days and bad days. Sometimes you will just to lie down and cry yourself to sleep. Other times, you will laugh till you choke. Other times, you will want to just scream. Other times, you will be so happy that you might just hug a stranger in your joy. So, if you are sometimes on the verge of tears, relax. Everything will be alright.
